[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 318941, member: 1514"] Ok....this may sound dumb but...what are the alternatives? Yes, some of these places may be harsh but maybe that is what these really difficult teens need. Matt is really an adult now. He is old enough to go to boot camp. Is this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) harsher than that? I doubt any of us would really like to send our kids into boot camp at Parris Island if we really knew ahead of time what was going to happen. I know now what happened there. It wasnt nice. Talk about breaking a person. I doubt Matt is being punched or slapped. He may be being yelled at, dont know, but I would hazard a guess that the DI's have a more colorful vocabulary. Of course, we dont send them to boot camp, they go on their own. We cant rescue them and they cant leave. [/QUOTE]
